Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Robert and Kiv Kisses ninety seven three. There's a
bit of panic at the producer's desk at the moment
because we're trying to bring out, trying to get our
big boss. I mean, the thing is in media, you know,
you have bosses and bosses, and we've got we've got
a series, but there's probably Duncan would be our the
second most powerful person in our universe.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes, he's like, we've got the CEO, and then we've
got Duncan who kind of oversees everything within the radio network.
So he's a really important guy. And he's been around
for as long as Kip and I have, which is
a really long time. And we've both worked with him
multiple times as his career has changed and it also
has ours exactly. But he is solely responsible as to
(00:38):
whether we remain employed.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Absolutely absolutely. And so we're talking about Sharon Goodella who's
on Channel ten tonight. She's back reviving her career on
Channel tenths from five o'clock tonight, and she was dumped
from seven pretty rudely while she was at the hairdresser
against the phone call. So we want to know about
your firing stories. Thirteen one oh six five is our
number if you've got a good firing story. Because so
(01:00):
Duncan years ago, when I was working in Perth, this
is very early day. So I was doing the midnight
to dawn shift.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh yeah, back when that you know, that's where you went.
That was the graveyard shift and you were to learn
your trade.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
That's what you did.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So you'd start the show at midnight, you finish finish
at six am. And I was doing I did that
for over a year and we had we used to
have the meeting at ten am, which was mad and
so you'd finished the show at six you've been up
since before midnight. Then you come in for the meeting
at ten. So I came in one morning and there
was a new guy, James Streeter, who was in the building.
(01:33):
I said, get a mate, how are you you know?
Oh James? James? I said, what shift do you? I said,
what do you do? James said, I'm an announcer, So
what shift are you going to do? He said midnight
to dawn And I said, well, that's weird because that's
what I do. And then Duncan, once at the time,
walked in and goes he saw this at this awkward
moment he saw the exchange, goes, mate, we need to
(01:54):
have a meeting, he said.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
To me, Did you have it straight away?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I had to sit through the jocks meeting talking about
what's coming up for the week. So there was about
a fifteen minute meeting while I sat there just red
in the face, thinking, oh, this is it. I've just
been saying I'm done. And so then we had the
meeting where he said, yeah, you've probably worked out that
we don't need you to come back on Monday. See,
and James is your replacement.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's brutal in media, if it's brutal anywhere else, or
even if it's funny thirteen one oh six five. I
can add to that story, which you probably don't know about.
So when there was conversations about you joining us here
with Tes and Me, Duncan said to me, have you
worked with Kip? And I said no, obviously I've seen
him around and done things with him. And he said, yeah,
I sacked him once in Perth. And you know what,
(02:40):
I'm really glad I sacked him because it made him
a much better announcer.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
He records. I mean I did go, I went went
worked in the country and did breakfast that I did
get better at my trade. I guess I'm not going
to concede. No. I hated him so much for so long,
but then he gave me a job back eventually, like
about two years later, and I sort of forgave him
for it. But he's not coming on with us today,
coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We can't get him.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
He doesn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Our executive producer. He's going straight to voicemail. How can
isn't it?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But if you've got a fired story, tell us thirty
one O six five's out number Tash.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
To bribe the island. Have you got a doozy?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I sure agree.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'm not sure if you're remember me, kid, But I'm
the Dolphins fan, Tash. So you're not even calling about
getting fired. To shut up, Tash, you're just rubbing in
the dolphin wood.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, the Dolphins beat the Broncos caron of the Gold Coast.
What would you like to say?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I was doing fio work at the time, and I
had to fly to can from man Isa for my
brother's wedding. Yeah, and tried before I had to fly
back to work and man either the lovely boss at
the time rang out and said, I'm no longer needed
because they're shutting down the site very much.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I hope you're liking cans because you're stay there something
like that. I'm sorry, but if you've got a good
fired story, get on the phone. Thirteen one oh six
five is our number. After Sharon Goodella, I got fired
at Channel seven. But she's kicking off brand new Life
(04:19):
Lisa on Life tonight. It's Channel ten.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, everyone just watching give her a bit of support.
She's just such a lovely human being. But we've all
been walked, Yes, I mean, things happen, situations change. It's
just sometimes those stories are kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, radio stations often have great stories. I remember there
was I don't know if it was. There was a
bloke called Dan who was a GM years ago that
this is the story I understand is how it happened.
He called someone into his office and on his desk
he had a bunch of those little toy soldiers lined up,
just all our big big pile of toy soldiers, and
(04:53):
then one toy soldier over on the right, and he
said to the person, said see these, and he points
to the big group of toy soldiers goes, this is
the team, and see this, this is you, and then
flicked no soldier off the table. No, that's apparently how
we fired him.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And he just went you're no longer replied the soldier
is gone. You can pick him up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
On your way out, seeing your your own self just
getting flicked off the table and knowing that that's your
career spin affecting across the room.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Do you know when it comes to radio, and this
is across the board, It doesn't matter what station or whatever.
I think every radio announces. Dying wishes is to be
able to walk out on their own terms.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, because that usually never happened, to not have someone
from accounts pretending to be security walking next to you,
carrying your bosom full of that stuff that you got
that you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Even want or need.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
A Renada out of flags, don't hey Renata.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Hello, good morning, Happy fathers today, Robert Winkiff, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Thanks Ronada. So tell us what happened to you? You
were trying to protect someone?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, well, about six seven years ago, I was working
as a special needs care on a bus that transports
kids to school, and I had had a couple of
male drivers who were really good and had a great
relationship with them. And then I got a female driver.
And I actually knew this lady previously, and she was
one of those say what you think people, used to
use quite a bit of colorful language, and she had
(06:22):
caused a bit of ruffling of feathers with some of
the parents of kids that we worked with. And she
was called in for a meeting with our boss. And
before she went in, I kind of you said to him, Look,
she's doing a good job. She's pretty good with the kids,
you know. I put a good word in for her.
And somehow after she came out of that meeting. Even
(06:42):
though I had been doing the job as a care
for about four years and I'd never had any complaints,
I'd never got in in trouble for anything, somehow after
that meeting she walked out. She still had a job,
and I lost my job. So I don't know what
she told him, but yeah, I was actually quite devastating
because I love that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, it sounds like she was truly venomous, Like, wow,
that's incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
The sad thing is when my boss asked me after
my last mail driver, asked, you know, do you want
a woman driver? Or do you want a man driver?
I said, you know, I said to them a woman
driver would be nice. You know, women get on pretty well.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I don't think that she turned around and got you,
good banda.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
How long ago is that Renata?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
About six years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And if you got over it and got onto a
great job.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
No, no, okay, okay, Ranada, We're going to give you
a hundred dollar grilled voucher. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
If anyone needs an awesome chick with a great sense
of your American sort out, you know people, it's yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
She's very glass half full. She looks on the positive
side of people. Thank you, Ranada. It's Robin on Brisbane's
